    Dear maintainer,

    Could we exclude the files that are part of the build process?

    Example: autotools

    Files such as (etc.):

    config.rpath

    See debian policy section below.

    Hi Phil,

    licenserecon does exclude autotools files. I am aware of the issue.

    The current list is

    [files]
    aclocal.m4
    libtool.m4
    config.guess
    config.status
    config.sub
    configure
    install-sh
    ltmain.sh
    Makefile.in.in

    [directories]
    build-aux/
    debian/patches/
    m4/
    config/

    I'll add config.rpath to the exceptions list.
    Are you aware of any others, or where to obtain a definitive list?

    Regards,
    Peter
